Travel reports and Places of interest Nuremberg

Power and prestige in and around the castle: Nuremberg

Merchants, inventors and scholars made Nuremberg one of the world's most distinguished cities during the Middle Ages. In the shadow of the castle, art and craft flourished, while a new and independent spirit enlivened the city at a time when few other places could offer a life so good or prosperous. Whether that still holds true is another matter. In any case Nuremberg remains a lovely place, as all visitors will soon discover.
